Wildcat was aquired 5 years ago from the second owners They had owned the car
since it was only 4 years old. It was built in California, sold in California
when new and has lived all its life in
California before being brought locally here to WA about a decade ago. This is
one of those rare condition survivors… a very solid California car, very well
taken care of, actual low miles & always well maintained. It has a vintage
TOW PACKAGE for you vintage trailer or boat collectors, with heavy duty setup
that can tow full sized loads with lots of power and 445 lbs. of torque.
I have had
it professionally repainted the factory SURF GREEN metallic paint, in a high
quality 2-stage with clear coat paint done by a local shop noted for show cars.
The body was ground down to bare metals, all little dents removed for flawless
final paint. The paint was a difficult match to get the actual original
metallic color of the Surf Green. The final result was stunning! The Surf Green
has lots of metallic, and deep silver to a touch of gold hues when the sun hits
it. The photos do not do it justice. I
have also recently had the interior fully redone at a professional upholstery
shop that also does show quality cars. All new quality OEM padded loop carpets
that exactly matched the factory color, professionally reupholstered interior
using the very highest quality of materials, a thick Buick Surf Green with cream
vinyl pleated inserts. The car also has a new professionally installed OEM
textured headliner in off white.
This Buick
Special runs and drives very nicely. It has lots of power, handles and drives
easily and shifts cleanly through the gears. The factory & numbers matching
big block 401 Nailhead V8 engine has had a prior rebuild, with not many miles
on it coupled with its fully redone GM Buick 3-speed automatic transmission. The
4-V Nailhead is called the “445” due to the amazing 445 lbs of torque it
produces. You can see by the photos that the original air cleaner and all parts
under the hood are amazing condition. From the newer radiator, to newer
battery, to all new hoses, tune up and belts this car is in top mechanical
condition. This is one of those rare cars that will always fire right up, runs
smooth and strong and can take you across the country without hesitation. I
have had this car on weekend road trips, full freeway speeds and road cruising well
over 70mph and this car is amazing. I elected to keep the vintage heavy duty
tow package on the car, with hopes of someday having a tear drop vintage
trailer to match. Car has the internal adjustable drivers side mirror, full
power brakes and power steering… all in good condition. I am a Buick collector
and have put later model Buick Rally wheels on the car. I have not yet replaced
them back with the original 15” Wildcat rims, which have beautiful new quality
all weather whitewall radials. These will be put back on the car with the rare
set of mint condition factory Wildcat hubcaps. The second set is available to
buyer if desired. Original spare and jack assemblies still in the car. This is
a very early production & RARE 2-dr HT Wildcat in surf green! All exterior chrome are shiny and excellent stainless trims. This car would make a great “Low Rider” or keep stock for weekend car shows, cruisin town or family fun. It always gets a “thumbs up” … “cool car” or “nice car!” wherever it goes. AN INVESTMENT QUALITY & Weekend "SHOW & GO" car that you can drive anywhere & enjoy MUST SELL

2020 Buick Encore GX pricing makes it a better bargain than the smaller Encore
Thu, Nov 14 2019In April, Buick revealed the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai. At the time, we thought there was a chance the slightly larger GX would supplant the Encore in the U.S. By August, we learned that wouldn't happen, the Encore GX slotting into the lineup between the Encore and the Envision. With nearly $8,000 between the starting prices of the Encore and the Envision, there'd be plenty of room for the GX to find a good home leaving plenty of MSRP daylight between the crossover bookends. That doesn't appear to be what's happened, though. CarsDirect got hold of an early order guide for the Encore GX, and writes that the Encore GX in Preferred trim will cost $24,100 before a $995 destination charge, totaling $25,095. That's $900 more than the entry-level Encore in 1SV trim, but $500 less than the Encore in comparable Preferred trim.  The Encore offers an intermediate Sport Touring trim between Preferred and top-level Essence trims. The Encore GX will come in an intermediate Select trim, which CarsDirect didn't mention a price for. Stepping up to the top Essence variant with front-wheel drive costs $29,495 for the Encore GX, $800 less than a similar Encore, which costs $30,295.  If these are the figures that show up on dealer lots, the Encore GX seems like a no-brainer. The Encore rides on an older GM platform called GEM, for Global Emerging Markets, the GX model is built on GM's new VSS-F architecture. Both are fine looking vehicles, but the GX is a little more handsome. The Encore offers one engine, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, shifting through a six-speed transmission. The base engine on the Encore GX will be a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 137 hp and 166 lb-ft, shifting through a CVT. The second GX engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 155 hp and 174 lb-ft, optional on the front-wheel drive Select and Essence trims, standard on every all-wheel-drive model. That more powerful motor shifts through a nine-speed automatic. As if all that weren't enough, the GX's reason for being is that it offers more room. An additional three inches in length provides an extra 4.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. The GX wins on safety, too, coming standard with tech like forward collision alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports
Thu, Feb 17 2022It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti. The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.
2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
